Which roulette strategies really work, which eventually lose, and WHY? Here are the roulette tips and facts every player should know.

A roulette strategy is any method that aims to win at roulette. In most cases it’s a set of mechanical rules that tell the player when and where to bet. There are more strategies to win roulette than any other casino game, but the vast majority of players consistently lose. This is partly because most roulette tips pages focus on casino promotion, rather than accurate tips.

Using Roulette Tips to Win. As you can see, there are some very well known strategies and systems that are used, as well as some basic hints and tips, that will help you as you get into playing roulette, either in a real casino or online. But obviously, none of these are guaranteed to help you win big every time.

This page gives a simple explanation of which roulette strategies work, which fail, and why. There is an emphasis on “why”, so you understand and stop wasting time on losing strategies.

Why Most Roulette Strategies Lose

Most do not even consider where the ball will land. It may seem absurd, considering that roulette is all about a wheel and ball.

An example of such a system is consider betting on RED. If you lose, you double your bet on RED for the next spin. If you lose again, you increase your bet again and so on until you profit or lose everything. Let’s have a look at what happens after a few spins:

Bet 1 unit on Red > LOSE

Bet 2 units on Red > LOSE

Bet 4 units on Red > LOSE

Bet 8 units on Red > LOSE

Very quickly the bet size increases. Is there any scientific and viable reason why red would spin next? No. And even if there was, this strategy certainly doesn’t consider it. Simply the odds of red and black spinning are always the same. It doesn’t matter even if you had 100 blacks in a row. The odds of red or black spinning next don’t change. Intermediate players may understand this, but they are stuck thinking that eventually they are due to win. The fact is eventually you will win, but this doesn’t mean you will profit. Why is explained below.

The problems with progression strategies are:

1. Eventually you will reach the table maximum bet. When you do, you won’t be able to increase bets large enough to cover losses.

2. Even when you win, the payout is still unfair. For example consider the European wheel has 37 pockets, but the payout is 35 to 1. If the payouts were fair, they would be 36 to 1 so that one win in 37 spins leaves you with no change in bankroll.

Even if you eventually win, the above two points guarantee you will lose. Of course you might get lucky, but eventually your luck will run out.

Facts vs Fiction: Common False Beliefs Explained

It makes sense that knowing basic facts will help. But most players are still stuck believing nonsense. So this section lists the most common false beliefs, backed up by plain fact.

FACT: Previous spins do not affect future spins

If we had 100 reds in a row, the chances of red or black spinning next don’t change. To test this principle for yourself, check spin history and find streaks of red or black. Then check how many times red or black spins next. Test enough spins and you’ll find the odds haven’t changed. In this sense, previous spins have no connection to future spins. However, there is still some connection, which is the physical variables. But most players don’t even attempt to utilize the connections.

FACT: You cannot use a “long term balance”

If you tested 10,000 spins, usually you’ll have approximately an even amount of red and blacks. So it may seem reasonable to assume you could check the previous spins and bet on whichever color spun least. Let’s assume there was no green zero for now. For example, say you checked 1000 previous spins and saw there were 600 reds and 400 blacks. So you then bet on black expecting more blacks to spin because of an “evening out effect”.

It doesn’t work that way because:

1. If there were more reds than black, it could be because of wheel defects making red spin more. So betting on black would be worse than random bets.
2. You only tested 1,000 spins. How do you know the past 100,000 spins didn’t include an opposite trend like 60,000 blacks and 40,000 reds?

The first point is more relevant. The second point is assuming the roulette wheel is conscious and wants to try and “even the outcomes” somehow. As far as I know, the roulette wheel isn’t conscious and doesn’t make decisions.

FICTION: Betting Progression Helps You Win (Changing Bet Size)

Changing bet size is called “progression”. Positive progression is increasing bet size after losses, and negative progression is decreasing bet size after losses. They just don’t work. Ask yourself this: Does changing your bet size influence the winning number? No, of course not. The wheel and ball have nothing to do with your bets.

If you’re like most players, your strategy would be to use a trigger, then betting progression. A trigger is simply an event you wait to occur before betting. For example, the trigger may be wait for 3 REDS to spin in a row. Your bet would then be doubling bet size until you win. But again this wont work because the odds haven’t changed, the payouts are the same, and all you’re doing is making difference size bets on independent spins.

Because progression is popular, it needs special attention. Here’s a typical betting progression:

Bet 1 unit on red: LOSS

Bet 2 units in red: LOSS

Bet 4 units on red: LOSS

Bet 8 units on red: WIN

In this example, the player doubles bet size after losses. The player thinks they’ll “eventually win” and profit. They think their “chain of betting” helps them win. But in reality they’re making a series of independent bets with these odds:

1 unit bet, odds 18/37, payout 1:1

2 unit bet, odds 18/37, payout 1:1

4 unit bet, odds 18/37, payout 1:1

8 unit bet, odds 18/37, payout 1:1

Most players don’t understand is this is no different to 4 different players making 4 different bets. And the odds of winning and payout are the same regardless. So what has the player changed with progression? Absolutely nothing except the amount they bet. The chances of winning or losing are the same on each spin. So if your system doesn’t win with flat betting (no progression), then it will fail with progression.

So does a progression help you win? It’s like asking whether or not changing bet size help you win or lose. You could get lucky and win big, OR you could be unlucky and LOSE EVEN MORE. Progression is a double-edged sword, and the casino still has the advantage.

FICTION: You can build a system around a “rare event” that you’ll never see in your lifetime

Another common mistake is believing you can use progression to win before a “rare event” happens. It’s incorrect because the odds still haven’t changed. Your perception of a “rare” event is actually something that will eventually happen in enough spins.

For example, you may have never seen these winning numbers in a row: 1,2,3,4,5. But chances are you’ve never seen this sequence either: 32,4,18,9,1. If you see enough spins, they will happen exactly the same amount of times. Each sequence is just as rare as the other.

Another example is expecting you’ll never see 37 different numbers appear in 37 spins. Firstly, it will happen just as often as any other sequence of 37 spins. So why would you favor one group of 37 numbers over another 37 numbers? There is no difference at all. Each spin is independent and with the same odds. It’s exactly the same as expecting to never see four reds in a row (RRRR). It may occur less often than a mixed sequence like BRRB or RBRB, but the odds of any specific sequence happening are exactly the same. So thinking one sequence is more rare than another is delusion.

Put another way, imagine waiting many years to see the spin sequence 1,2,3,4,5. It seems really rare, and you bet that #6 wont spin next. But actually the odds of #6 spinning next are the same as any other number. Run some proper simulations and you’ll see no matter how you play it, you cannot change your odds by betting that rare events wont happen.

FICTION: An eventual win helps you profit

Yes a win will eventually happen, but how much have you lost while waiting for the win? The amount you lost is because of the house edge, which I’ll explain later.

FICTION: Bankroll Management Helps You Win

Unless your roulette strategy changes the odds of you winning, bankroll management will only make you lose at a faster or slower rate. Specifically positive progression will make you lose faster, and negative progression makes your bankroll last longer (because your bets get smaller).

Why doesn’t bankroll management help? Because it just controls the amount you bet. The wheel doesn’t care what you are betting. Your bet size doesn’t influence it. Your bets are not changing the odds or payouts.

FICTION: You Only Need a Short-Term Winning Strategy

There are many strategies that aim to win perhaps +1 unit each day. It will hardly cover the cost of car parking. But still let’s use this as an example and say your goal was to win just +1 unit. It seems simple enough, right? Many players have claimed they have a holy grail that will win a set amount per day, but the strategy’s rules require you to leave after winning the target amount.

Ask yourself:

1. If the strategy worked, wouldn’t playing more mean winning more?
2. What if 10,000 players all used the same system? Would they all win +1 unit?
3. What if 1 player used the same system 10,000 times?

A roulette strategy either wins in the long-term, or loses in the long-term. Whether you bet on just 1 spin, or 1,000 spins, the casino will have the same edge over you. That is unless you are able to change the odds of winning.

FICTION: Roulette has streaks you can use for advantage

Even with numbers from a random number generator, there will inevitably be times where the same number spins several times in a row. This is simple statistics, and such “freaky streaks” are bound to happen eventually. The odds of 0 spinning three times in a row are 1 in 50653. But what are the odds of 0,0 then 2 spinning? . . . Also 1 in 50653. So ask yourself, why would you bet 0 after it had spun twice consecutively?

The same concept applies to any other bet. For example, you may wait for the first dozen to spin three times consecutively, then bet on the second and third dozens. But the odds of each dozens spinning next haven’t changed at all.

FICTION: A strategy that “lasts” for 20,000 spins is better than most systems

A strategy will either lose or win in the long term. If you use a negative progression where you decrease bet size after losses, you can make your bankroll last longer. But the end result will still be a loss.

Alternatively, you could wait for rare “triggers” that mean you skip many spins before betting. Then you apply an aggressive betting progression and may get lucky with a big win. The result of this is a lot of spins will occur, but you rarely bet. So you can last many thousands of spins without blowing your bankroll. This doesn’t make the system good. It just makes a losing strategy more boring to use. A strategy like this on a bankroll trend chart will show a lot of dramatic up and down bankroll spikes.

If you have a good roulette system tester, try creating a system with random bets. You’ll find that even occasionally it will be profitable testing over 20,000 spins. It doesn’t mean the system “works”. It just means you got lucky. Try repeating the test a few times. Certainly there would be many players around using totally ineffective strategies, who have still profited purely from luck. Most players will never play 10,000 spins in their life, and it is still easily possible to profit after 10,000 spins with a losing system from luck. Reality may catch up with them eventually, or they may end their roulette career with a profit despite an ineffective strategy.

FICTION: A Strategy That Mostly Wins Is All You Need

Let’s say you had a simple system and you are mostly winning with it. Let’s say you profit 80% of the time. So out of 5 days of play, you profit 4 of the days, and lose 1 of the days. The results may be:

Day 1: +100 units

Day 2: +50 units

Day 3: +20 units

Day 4: +100 units

Day 5: -300 units

So you were doing quite well, until that rare occurrence eventually happened. And only if that rare occurrence didn’t happen, right? Maybe next time you won’t be so unlucky.

The casinos don’t profit by being lucky. They profit because of a long-term advantage called the “house edge”. The roulette strategies that work don’t rely on luck either.

FICTION: Waiting for a trigger to bet increases your chances of winning

You will either have a positive or negative edge, and waiting for something to happen like a sequence of numbers will not improve your chances of winning. The exception is if the “trigger” is directly related to a sequence of spins caused by physical variables of the wheel and ball. For example, if the trigger was “bet on whatever number that won most in 10,000 spins”, then this is bias analysis. But the “triggers” that have no effect are like “wait for 5 reds in a row then bet black”.

FICTION: Winning after you reach your target profit for the day helps ensure daily profits

It makes no difference if you play 1 spin a day for 100 days, or 100 spins in 1 day. It’s still 100 spins. The odds of you winning or losing are the same in either case.

FICTION: Skipping spins you bet on can help you profit in the long term

If you tested a system over 1,000 spins, your “trigger” may require you to bet on only 200 spins (20% of spins). If you profited, it doesn’t mean you’ve won over 1,000 spins. It means you’ve won over just 200 spins.

The Illusion of a Winning System

The casino thrives on delusions and illusions. They wouldn’t be able to profit if people knew the truth about what did and didn’t work. Here’s an example of the delusions from players that keep casinos in business.

Say there were 1,000 players all applying the same system in different casinos, each of them unaware of each other. Now after a week of play, the collective results are:

48% of players win a total of $480,000. These players are convinced they have a winning system.

52% of players lose a total of $500,000. These players are back to the drawing board and start working on a new system.

The casino takes the profit of $20,000 and doesn’t care who won or lost. They only need more losers than winners. But the casino need winners to keep hope alive, so gamblers keep coming back. The winnings paid are like an investment for the casino.

Keep in mind that I was once one of the deluded losers too. I won most of the time and thought I had beaten roulette. I thought I had a winning strategy and that I could effortlessly milk the casinos. But the delusion was revealed with further play.

Bankroll Trend Charts Are Almost Useless

A growing bankroll like below looks great. It looks like the system is “working”:

But in reality, the wins occur because the player uses progression. This involved increasing bet size after losses.

The problem is eventually you either reach the table limit, or run out of money. Then this happens:

Betting progression is like a loan that must be repaid, plus interest. It will keep you winning for a while even with random bets.

So can you just win for a while and leave when you’re “up”? Yes, if you’re a tourist and almost never play. But what if 100 tourists all did the same thing? 10 may leave with some profit, and 90 would be dead broke. The end result is the casino still profits.

Don’t think you can just have shorter sessions and always profit. Because sooner or later, you’ll lose all your winnings and more. Progression betting is not a viable strategy. It is ultimately no different to making a few large bets then accepting whatever the result.

The House Edge Explained

The “house edge” is what enables the casino to profit. An example is the European wheel has 37 pockets, but a 35-1 payout on single numbers. So if you win 1 in 37 as you’d expect with random bet selection, you’d be paid 35 units plus your original bet, leaving you with 36 units. But if roulette’s payouts were fair, you’d be left with 37 units after the 37 spins. Simply the house edge is unfair payouts. And it affects every bet and every roulette strategy. Even when you win, you are still getting paid unfairly.

The only way to overcome the house edge is to improve your odds of winning.

Some Players Win, Most Players Lose

I provide a free multiplayer roulette game at www.rouletteplayers.org/register/ and the results for all players are at www.rouletteplayers.prg/leaderboard/

Currently there’s over 1,000 players. You can see how much they’ve won, how much they’ve lost, how many spins they’ve played, and the “win rate” (wins vs losses). A win rate of 1.0 means the player has broken even. The expected win rate is about 0.97 because of the house edge.

Here’s the top of the leaderboard:

For a player to rank higher, they need to have won more than they’ve lost, and done it over a more statistically significant amount of spins. So rankings are based on wins, losses, and amount of spins played. It isn’t based on wins vs losses alone because then anyone could get lucky on 5 spins and rank high.

You’ll notice that generally the more spins a player played, the lower their win rate. There are still some lucky players that have profited after a few thousand spins. The key question is does their system beat roulette, or are they just lucky? Well if you test virtually any system over 5,000 spins, sometimes it will profit. But most of the times it will have lost. So even with a random system, sometimes you will profit. But most of the time you’ll lose.

This is exactly how a real casino works. Most players lose. A few players win, and these players (and perhaps their friends) think the system truly works. The reality is their profits are just luck. Remember that even with random bets, it’s inevitable that some players will profit. Sometimes a losing system can get lucky and profit after 100,00 spins.

If you say you only need a system to win in “your lifetime of spins”, you aren’t paying attention. Remember there could be 100 players all playing 1,000 spins, which is 100,000 spins in total. From those 100 players, perhaps 47 will be winners, and 53 will be losers. Again most are losers. You have no way of controlling if you are one of the winners or losers. You are all using the same system, and the results depend entirely on whether you get “suitable spins” or not.

How To “Improve Your Odds” of Winning

Roulette odds are basically how often you expect to win. So if you bet on a single number on an American double zero wheel, you can expect to win 1 in 38 spins because there’s 38 numbers on the wheel. Therefore your odds of winning would be 1 in 38.

If you understand what I’ve written to this point, you’d understand the only way to win roulette consistently is by improving your odds. So how can you do this?

Well, think logically. What determines the winning number? The wheel and ball of course, and a variety of physical variables like wheel and ball speeds. So it makes sense that if you want to predict the winning number, you need to consider what is making the ball land where it does. In one word, “physics”.

It may sound complicated, but we’re not talking rocket science here. The physics of roulette is actually quite mundane and simple.

The Only Roulette Strategies That Concern Casinos

Casinos know their business better than average players. And casinos share information between other casinos. And the only strategies that concern casinos involve the application of physics. Casino staff call these strategies “advantage play”, simply because they increase the player’s odds of winning and give a legitimate advantage.

Strategies That Lose

If you’ve understood my explanations, you’ll know a losing strategy just by considering these things about it:

• Does it attempt to predict the winning number?
• Are it’s “betting triggers” based on legitimate physical variables that influence the winning number?
• Does it rely on betting progression, or same-sized bets (flat bets)?
• Does it use triggers that assume there some sort of balance will occur?
• If losing streaks are rare, will they wipe out the bankroll?

See the page about how to test your roulette system. It teaches you how to properly test, without risking any money.

Well-known Strategies & Why They Lose

Perhaps applying the above knowledge to actual systems will help you understand why a system loses. Below are some well-known losing systems, and why they lose:

The Martingale

This is not a system for bet selection. It is just a betting progression where you double bet size after losses. Remember the wheel doesn’t care about your bet size. The odds don’t change. All you do with the Martingale is change bet size on different spins. Even when you win, you’ll still be paid an unfair amount. You can do well for a while, but eventually you’ll reach the maximum table bet and losses will rapidly compound.

TurboGenius Repeaters

TurboGenius is one of many roulette forum members who mislead others by winning on rigged and flawed online games. He avoided any reputable tests. His system involves betting on numbers that recently appeared more than once in a 37 spin cycle. It doesn’t work because every spin is independent, and previous spins have no affect on future spins.

Tier et Tout

This is a betting progression and money management strategy. Again it doesn’t consider the winning number at all. It doesn’t change the odds, and the player simply makes a variety of bets of a different size. It can be fun to play with, but is no different to random bets with random bet size.

John Solitude Raindrop Strategy

This strategy is based on the principle of “balance”. So it expects that “eventually” you will win. It doesn’t work because knowing you will eventually win doesn’t allow you to select where to bet, at least in a way that improves your odds.

There are countless other losing strategies but you’ll find they are much the same, just repackaged a different way. I don’t mean any disrespect to the creators of these and other losing systems. It’s only my intention to help people understand how to develop a winning strategy. In fact it took me around 10 years of developing roulette systems before I had anything that worked, or even understood the basics of why my systems failed. So I understand the mind of the typical roulette player.

In the Simplest Terms Possible

1. The winning number is determined by real physical variables, like wheel and ball properties, spin spins etc.

2. If spins are random, the odds of winning are fixed. For example, if you bet on 0, you expect to win about 1 in 37 spins (on a single zero wheel)

3. The payouts never change. They are casino rules. For example, a win on a single number pays 35 -1.

4. The house edge is the casino’s advantage over you. It is simply unfair payouts when you do win.

5. Almost every system is based around junk like the law of a third, waiting for numbers to hit then betting, martingale progression etc. They lose because they don’t change the odds of winning. So the odds are unchanged, and the payouts are unchanged. The result is guaranteed long term loss. No betting progression changes it.

6. The average player has no idea of these simple fundamental facts, which is why they keep coming up with losing systems, again and again.

7. Everything in roulette is long term, unless you have detailed data that accounts for why the ball lands where it does (like dominant diamond, rotor speed, ball bounce). You cannot possibly test a system properly from a few minutes or even weeks of play. Proper testing requires months, otherwise a loss or win can be plain good or bad luck. So for proper testing to be practical, you need at least 50,000 recorded spins from a real wheel. The only exception is if you have supporting information to back up results, like dominant diamond, rotor speed, ball bounce (so you can plainly see all factors contributing to where the ball lands).

8. The ONLY way to beat roulette consistently is to increase the accuracy of predictions, AKA increase the odds of winning.

9. Most players will either flat ignore the above, or not have proper understanding of it. Professional players, players who aren’t new to roulette, or players who are reasonably intelligent, will understand the facts and wonder what other players are thinking.

Anyone can take or leave these simple facts.

Changing The Old Way Of Thinking

It is difficult to change old ways of thinking. Here I’ll explain everything in other terms, so you can see another perspective.

Let’s say you bet on a coin toss. If you win, I pay you $1. If you lose, you pay me $1. But now imagine if I only paid you $0.50 for wins. The odds of you winning haven’t changed, but the payout for you has changed. That’s what the “house edge” is.

So in this case, how can you profit?

The odds of you winning will always be 50/50. So you have a 50% chance of LOSING $1, and a 50% chance of WINNING $0.50. You can’t just double bet size after losses, because then all you do is increase the amount you risk. Sure you may get lucky and win, but what happens if you lose? You’ll lose big. So there is no escaping the unfair payouts UNLESS you know which side of the coin is more likely to appear. Then you would be changing the odds of winning. And if you won much more often than 50% of the time, then the unfair payout wont matter as much.

The Best Winning Roulette Strategies

Unfortunately the average website about winning roulette is full of rubbish. But at least now you may be better able to identify systems and strategies that are guaranteed to lose, without needing to test or even buy systems.

See the www.roulettephysics.com home page for a list of the best proven winning strategies. They all apply physics to predict the winning number and improve player odds.

The Two Best Strategies:

Roulette Computers (www.roulette-computers.com): Electronic devices that measure the speed or the wheel and ball to predict the winning number.

Cross-reference roulette system: Cross referencing is a type of analysis where all available data is considered, and used to detect usable patterns. What makes it special is the data cross-referenced to ensure accuracy. This enables the player to better find hidden patterns in spins, and in less time. Also it enables players to quickly adjust when conditions at the wheel change. The method of cross referencing is not exclusive to roulette, and can be applied to other casino games. But this particular roulette system is combined with other predictive methods that are exclusive to roulette.

Roulette tips that work: The Players that are winning millions, how they do it, and how you can win roulette in modern casinos.

Most roulette tips websites are written only to promote online casinos, and they don’t provide accurate information. Very rarely are tips to win roulette provided by people with real experience. I’ve been playing roulette for over 15 years, and managing professional teams for over 5 years. Here I explain the truth about beating roulette so you can decide whether or not it’s for you. Really the life of a professional player is not for everyone. In fact most people don’t have the right mindset.

Roulette Tips for Beginners

• Making your bankroll last: If you want to just have fun and stay at the table as long as possible, decrease your bet size as your bankroll decreases.

• Quit while you’re up: the longer you play, the greater the chance you’ll lose money. Set a profit goal. For most people, it would be something like $100 profit or even just enough to pay for dinner and a movie.

• Set a loss limit, and stick to it: it is very easy to take more money from the ATM and lose more. Never play with more than you’re prepared to lose. And if you lose your set bankroll, accept the loss and walk away a prepared loser. It may be great to win back losses, but chasing old losses leads to gambling addiction. Also remember that money will come and go all your life.

• Understand the bets, odds and payouts: roulette is a very easy game to learn. See the roulette bets, odds and payout chart so you know what to expect. Especially if you bet just one number, you may be without a win for many spins. This can get frustrating, so it may be best to make outside bets like red, black, odds, evens etc. This way you get wins more frequently. Learn about the types of roulette bets.

• Choose tables that aren’t too busy: it is very frustrating when you are waiting for other players to be paid. Busy tables tend to spin too infrequently, and aren’t fun to play on. Generally the time of day determines how busy tables are.

• Give preference to European (single 0) wheels instead of American 00 wheels: The single 0 version wheels give you a significantly better chance of winning.

• Only play against real wheels, not software roulette: Online casinos often use software roulette where there is no physical roulette. This is called RNG roulette, and isn’t roulette at all – it’s a slot machine, and they are impossible to beat. Some online casinos even used rigged RNG where the winnings of other players will determine whether or not you win. This is far from fair. If you play online roulette, stick to the webcam roulette wheels where you can see spins from a real wheel.

• Check the reputation of online casinos before joining: many online casinos refuse payouts and legally cheat players. See the recommended honest online casinos.

Intermediate Roulette Tips

• Learn how to properly test your roulette system: Without proper testing, you’ll waste lots of time on systems that have no chance of winning in the long term. See how to properly test roulette systems.

• Learn what others have tried, and what is known to fail: There’s no point to re-inventing a broken wheel. See how you can and can’t win at roulette.

• Try something NEW: If you are looking for something other than typical professional systems, try something that nobody else has tried before.

Advanced Roulette Tips

• Find partners: some techniques require a lot of time, and sharing the workload with others makes it more practical to beat the more difficult wheels.

• Learn to assess wheels first: understand where your edge comes from, and assess wheels to determine if they exhibit suitable attributes, without needing a lot of data. This will save you a lot of time.

• Assess conditions and casino procedures: some casino conditions will make play impractical. For example, a wheel may spin too infrequently for play to be practical.

• Think in terms of weeks and months, instead of hours and days: Beating roulette is a long-term job. Casinos themselves look at the bigger picture instead of what happens only on an individual day.

• Consider the conditions to determine what is required to remain covert: staying undetected is critical. No casino will tolerate a consistent winner. It is not difficult to remain undetected if you use common sense.

• Become familiar with wheel designs from the manufacturer websites: This way you will have reasonable knowledge of which wheels are easiest to beat.

Can You Really Win at Roulette, or Are You Wasting Time?

The short answer is yes you can win, but you can’t beat all types of roulette and in all casinos. But before I continue, I’ll provide general advice that should be obvious to anyone.

How to win roulette in a real casino needs expert advice. The Internet is full of self-professed roulette tips experts who think they know about everything, including strategies for winning at roulette. You can find such people on forums, websites like Yahoo answers or just random comment threads. Next to none of these people have any experience with legitimate methods that beat roulette, so it should be no surprise they aren’t going to know what they’re talking about. They get their “expert knowledge” from other “experts” who similarly have no real experience, other than reading what some other “expert” said. You get the picture. It’s the same case with virtually any topic on the Internet; a bunch of people who really know nothing.

Who Can Reliably Answer The Question: Can You Really Beat Roulette?

When I say “beaten”, I mean real winnings over extended periods of time. I don’t mean lucky wins or short-term play.

Probably the most obvious people to ask about winning roulette would be casino staff. After all, they spend a lot of time around roulette wheels. However, their job is not to study the wheel and ways to beat it, and dealers can give roulette tips no more useful than an inexperienced player. When it comes to someone like a dealer, they’ll mostly just spin the wheel. If you have your own wheel at home, the chances are you’ll have spun the wheel more times than a typical dealer. Having experience with a wheel certainly helps to understand the physics involved, but it is more keen observation that can uncover clues relating to the predictability of spins. I’ll explain more about this later.

If roulette was being “consistently” beaten, you’d expect that casino staff would at least have come across consistently winning players. In the past 15 or so years, I’ve come to meet and know many casino employees including dealers, pit bosses and even casino owners. Of course different individuals have different knowledge, but the general attitude towards the concept of beating roulette is as follows:

Dealers: Most dealers believe roulette can be beaten, but only under strict and rare conditions. For example, they may consider “wheel bias”. This is essentially when there is a physical defect of the wheel that makes certain numbers win more than others.

Sometimes, dealers have heard of other methods like electronic devices (roulette computers), but they only have a very vague understanding of the conditions under which such technology is effective. Sometimes a casino consultant has been hired by their casino, and provided a training course to help them spot professional roulette players. But rather than it be a proper course, it is more of a crash course explaining the very basics.

Overall, most dealers only have a very vague understanding of legitimate methods to beat roulette. Generally they know it’s possible, but don’t expect they’ll ever encounter a professional player. What they usually see is a constant stream of losing players at their table.

Pit bosses: these are the serious-looking people that usually oversee a group of 2-4 roulette wheels at a time. They do everything from handle any disputes, communicate with surveillance about whatever, and generally make sure all the dealers are doing their job and that everything runs smoothly.

When it comes to understanding roulette prediction, they rarely have significantly better knowledge than the dealers. Again they know roulette can be beaten under the right circumstances, but they also know for every 1,000 players you see, you’d be lucky for even one of them to have a method that is a threat to the casino’s money.

Casino owners: Many owners have very little knowledge about their own games. They tend to view the casino as a revenue source and investment at a very different level. After all, it’s not their job to be on the gaming floor – their job is more confined to a board room. But for smaller casinos where the boss takes a more “hands-on” approach, the owner again has not much more knowledge than a common dealer. More importantly, they will at least be aware of the risk of professional players. They call them “advantage players”. They know they exist. They know very well even individual professional players have taken casinos for many millions. But their perspective is at a much higher level, and professional players are seen more as an accepted hazard, not without measures to deal with them. Kind of like an annoying bee that can do harm, but aren’t difficult to squish once you know about them.

It’s also much like a retail store that may make $1M in sales each year, but $10,000 is lost each year due to theft. In other words, the retail store knows it’s almost impossible to stop 100% of theft. Technically they could stop 100%, but it would mean taking measures that would make honest customers feel uncomfortable, and this alone may lose more revenue than they save. So all the retail store can do is follow the best procedures to limit the losses from thieves. This is how a casino boss often view “advantage players”.

Getting Accurate Tips To Win at the Roulette Table

The vast majority of roulette tips websites exist only to promote online casinos. Such website owners give content for search engines, not to help players. So most of the tips to win at the roulette table are nonsense. It is also important to understand the difference between a method to meat the roulette table, and one to beat the roulette wheel. Almost every system is based around bets on the table. Even Einstein said “you cannot beat the roulette table”. He didn’t say “wheel”. He said “table”, because the roulette table is a deliberate randomized representation of the real wheel. In other words, a red or black bet doesn’t represent any specific sector of the wheel. The only systems that do beat roulette involve predicting areas of the physical wheel where the ball will fall.

Evidence That Roulette Can Be Beaten

A safe roulette strategy is important, but they can not always be called a simple roulette system. You’d think that if someone could beat roulette, that it would make headlines and they’d win the Nobel Prize. Actually the truth is winning at roulette isn’t rocket science – it’s more about using the right approach for the right wheel and conditions as I’ll explain later. Anyway I’ll refer to four particular high profile cases of roulette players winning fortunes:

Joseph Jagger: You may have heard the song “The Man Who Broke the Bank at Monte Carlo”. This was the first record of anyone exploiting roulette wheel bias. In today’s money, he earned millions. The casino staff couldn’t figure out how he was winning. Eventually, they changed the wheels (or rather a part of the wheel relating to the defect) and he didn’t notice. This inevitably changed the patterns he was following, and he lost much of his winnings. He still walked away with a fortune.

Pelayo family: This is a family of Spanish players who also exploited roulette wheel bias. Despite the history and what happened with Joseph Jagger, the casino staff still had no idea how the Pelayo family was winning. They could not lawfully ban them, so they started changing the conditions at the wheel. For example, they tried speeding up the wheel spins. But this actually helps wheel bias players because the parts that cause the bias are more likely to influence ball behaviour, resulting in a statical anomaly (the bias). Eventually the Pelayo family were illegally and physically removed from the casinos they were winning at, so they were forced to play elsewhere. But they had become so well known that it was near impossible for them to continue winning discretely. They began with a bankroll of about $2000, and profited around $1,000,000. See the video below:

Laszlo Kovacs: This happened a few years ago in Star City casino in Australia. He used an electronic device (roulette computer – the best way to win roulette) to calculate the speed of the wheel and ball and predict where the ball is most likely to land. He won about $200,000 before the casino staff noticed he was winning a little too often. But according to casino staff, what initially gave him away was the tapping of his foot, not his winnings. He was tapping his foot because a hidden button in his shoe was pressed when the ball and green zero completed revolutions (to measure speeds). Laszlo was charged with casino cheating under Australian law, but was deported without being convicted, and was allowed to keep his winnings.

Ritz team: This happened a few years ago too. A team of 3 professional players win over US$2M in 3 days. Nobody but the players themselves know what technology they used, although they were caught with various mobile phones and electronic devices. Based on reports from casino staff who reviewed the footage of them winning, their behaviour and bets were consistent with roulette computer application. These are the devices also used by Laszlo Kovacs. The team was allowed to keep their winnings because they had not broken any law. These devices continue to he LEGAL in the UK and many other parts of the world. But legal or not, casinos will of course do what they must to stop you winning. So you need to use them very discretely. See the TV documentary about the team below:

There have actually been many other cases in the news. And certainly far more cases do not make the headlines. To summarize, basically there is enough evidence to support that even the casinos know roulette can be beaten. But mostly the casino staff don’t understand it. However, they do they “need” to understand it – they only need to monitor for consistently winning players, then take whatever action is appropriate to stop casino losses.

What Roulette Strategies Do and Don’t Work?

It’s important to note that with all the known methods that have worked and even made headlines, the physics of the roulette wheel was involved. As far as I’m aware, there has never been a case where a player has won millions over sustained and long-term periods of play without using physics. Certainly players have won millions with sheer luck. But I’m referring to methods that have repeatable success.

The common factors of the effective methods:

• Real roulette wheels only

• Roulette wheel physics

• Inside bets based on sectors of the wheel

I’m not aware of any legitimately effective method that beats roulette, without all of the above factors. So the most important roulette tip I can give is focus on real wheel physics.

Strategies That DON’T work:

Save yourself some time and understand why most systems lose:

Betting progression: most gamblers believe that if you bet higher to cover losses, that you’ll eventually win and your bankroll will increase. But roulette doesn’t work this way. When you increase bet size, all you do is increase the amount you risk on that individual spin. Remember that the wheel has no memory. It doesn’t know or care if there were 10 reds in a row. And even after 10 reds, the odds or red or black spinning next haven’t changed. So changing bet size wont help at all (unless you actually have a method to increase the accuracy of predictions).

Thinking something is “due”: as explained above, even after 10 or so reds, the odds of red or black spinning next do not change at all. Nothing is ever “due” to happen. The ball lands where it does only from cause and effect. That’s real physical variables only.

Systems that work well on a set sample of spins, but not new spins: Every set of previous spins will appear to have mysterious coincidences and patterns that aren’t really patterns at all. In fact you can put them down to simple statistics in the sense that certain sequences of spins will inevitably occur over time. It doesn’t mean they will occur over new spins in the near future.

Another important consideration is the house edge. For the European wheel, it is -2.7%. A simple explanation is if you bet on one number, you can expect to win 1 in 37 spins. When you win, you are paid 35 chips plus your original bet. So after 37 spins, on average you’ll be left with 36 chips. If everything was fair and the house edge didn’t exist, you should have 37 chips after the 37 spins. To make this even simpler to understand, even when you win, you still actually lose because you are paid an UNFAIR amount. The effect of this is you slowly drain your bankroll. The only way to overcome this is by winning more times than statistically expected. In this case, winning more than 1 in 37 times.

Players that have no understanding of these concepts will forever create the same systems again and again, but just repackaged a different way. And many players waste years of their life before they understand why they’ve been losing. Almost every professional gambler was once at this stage – even myself. And now we ask ourselves how we couldn’t see plain logic before.

How Can You Win At Roulette Today?

Roulette is not much different from how it was 6-8 years ago. Some changes have made winning easier, such as rapid roulette. But it’s quite different to how it was 50+ years ago. Naturally, as casinos learn about how roulette is beaten, they will do what is reasonable to limit losses from professional players. Again they presently can’t do this fully without losing revenue. For example, to prevent roulette computer users from measuring the ball speed and betting late, the dealer can call no more bets earlier. This will stop a roulette computer player from winning. But it will also stop the average losing player from placing late bets that lose. For every 1 roulette computer player, there may be 50,000 normal players. So it is not viable for casinos to fully forbid late bets.

To limit losses to professional roulette players (advantage players), casinos rely on:

• Detecting consistent winners, then applying countermeasures (like forbidding late bets) until the consistent winner either loses or leaves. Then the casino can resume normal procedures.

• Using roulette wheels and technology that makes roulette spins less predictable.

There are far more undetected professional players than those who are detected. So for professional players, avoiding detection is mostly a matter of not being greedy and winning more modest amounts.

As for modern roulette wheel technology: there’s no doubt that wheels are getting harder to beat. But it is actually much harder to design a wheel with completely unpredictable spins than it is to develop a method which at least slightly increases the accuracy of the player’s winning number predictions. And to overcome the casino’s typical small edge of -2.7% is not at all difficult – it only requires the roulette player to only have slightly better than random accuracy when predicting the winning number. In suitable conditions, this is not at all difficult to achieve. This is the key to winning at roulette.

Advice on Having Realistic Expectations

If you do proper research, you’ll understand that it is not only possible to win at roulette, it is being done every day. But keep in mind for every consistent winner, there are likely tens of thousands of players who lose with a system that has no chance of winning in the long term. It makes sense that if you are trying to beat roulette, you should start with what has historically already shown to work. This doesn’t mean your current approach, whatever it may be, will not also be successful if developed further. Also keep in mind many people have even committed suicide because they couldn’t beat this game. But you can be sure such people were looking at the wrong approaches. Blindly trying to do the impossible will drive anyone insane. Trying to do the possible, with proper and logical approaches, makes more sense.

If you spend years using the same approaches used by millions of players, you are going to lose. But if you don’t want to look at the physics of the roulette wheel, then at least try something that nobody has tried before. If you are not trying to be a pioneer and just want a roulette strategy that works, then the application of physics-based roulette systems (advantage play) may be what you’re looking for.

But a word of warning: don’t expect to beat all wheels in all conditions. None of the methods that have worked previous or today have ever been effective on every wheel. In all known cases, the players had to search for suitable wheels and conditions. The prevalence of suitable wheels mostly depends on the method you use – you will find that specific approaches may work on perhaps only 5% of wheels. Whereas other approaches may be successful on far more wheels (30-50%).

Other than using roulette computers, the overall best methods I have developed to beat roulette will beat approximately 35% of modern wheels in real casino conditions. But this doesn’t mean you will obliterate the casino with 35% of their wheels. It means of the 35% of wheels, you will overcome the normal edge against you which is -2.7%. In typical conditions, the edge you will achieve is between +5 to +15%. So on average, around a +10% edge. This may not seem like much, but consider a -2.7% edge is all a casino needs to often make hundreds of thousands from a single wheel in one night. An edge of over 50% is not uncommon with roulette computers. But despite their larger edge, professional players have serious disadvantages such as the casino being able to simply ban players for any reason. So you can’t just win millions overnight. Well you can, but expect to be noticed. If you have a more modest bankroll, you need to win much more discrete amounts. How much is ok to win? It depends on the table. But say if the minimum inside bet is just $5, then the most you should take from the table is $500 or so. Or if the minimum is $50, then generally winning $5,000 in one session is ok (provided you don’t repeat it too often and in the presence of the same casino staff). This is just a rough guide though, and there are many variables that determine what is “covert” to win.

Winning and avoiding detection is one thing. But the biggest roadblock for professional players is time. More specifically, most people don’t have the will or patience to spend in casinos for many hours. It can quickly become very boring and tiring. The boredom can lead to costly mistakes.

I once spoke to the director of one of the largest and best-known roulette wheel manufacturers. He and his colleague spoke candidly about the viability of beating their wheels. They stated something to the effect that “Yes we know wheels can be “clocked” (their word for ‘beaten”). We know all about it”. They spoke rather defensively as if I was attempting to somehow expose them. I was actually just looking to purchase a new roulette wheel, which they refused because they were aware of who I was, and my intentions to study it. On another occasion I spoke to their chief wheel designer, who is also well aware just about any wheel can be beaten in the right conditions. The manufacturer websites neglect to explain to their clients (casinos) how easily beaten many modern roulette wheels are, but the wheel manufacturers at least do have knowledge. Again although wheels are getting more difficult to beat, to create a wheel that produces truly random and unpredictable spins would be extremely difficult and costly, and perhaps not viable considering it is not difficult for casinos to identify a player who is consistently winning hundreds of thousands, which is what it would take to significantly impact the income of most casinos.

How Much Time Do Professional Methods Take To Use?

Roulette computers are by far the quickest, but you still may need to dedicate 4hrs or more just getting enough data for one wheel. Some players may consider this far too time consuming and absurd. A roulette computer user would consider the notion of 8 hours work from 9am-5pm for day after day for around $150/day, then paying 35% tax, to be closer to insanity.

But excluding roulette computers, a good professional method to win roulette consistently (that can earn a living) may take around 20 hrs per week. This again may seem absurd to some people, but consider this is around half the time as a normal job, but it can pay much better if done right.

If you are considering becoming a professional roulette player, understand that while it is not uncommon for players to win hundreds of thousands or even millions, this level of income (with modest bet size) requires time and dedication, just like any other job. But the average player doesn’t play full-time. The average player keeps their normal job, and plays roulette part-time or whenever the need arises for an income boost. In any event, if you expect to consistently win money from roulette, you will need to use an approach much more sophisticated than “doubling bets” after losses.

If you don’t like the idea of using physics to win roulette, perhaps read https://www.roulettephysics.com/why-it-works/ which explains why most methods fail, and why physics may be the only approach that works. Whatever systems you are using, CONSIDER THE WORKING PRINCIPLE you are attempting to apply, and test it thoroughly.

Tips To Win At Roulette

Roulette Tips That Really Work

Start with the basics rules and learn how to play roulette. The following advice is intended for casual players who are more about having fun than being a serious player. Tips for professional players are quite different.

• Set your loss limit and goals: Set your bankroll and stick to it.

• Know the payouts and odds of each bet: If you know the chance of winning, you can calculate the bankroll you’ll need so you have at least some good wins. Generally outside bets like dozens, odds, evens 1-18 and so on are bets where statistically you can expect to win at least once every few spins. This way you don’t blow your bankroll too soon.

• Be careful of progression betting like the Martingale: This is where you increase bet size after losses, in attempt to win back losses. Unless your roulette strategy first increases the accuracy of predictions, no progression betting is going to help you.

• Focus on predicting wheel sectors where the ball is expected to land. The betting table has nothing to do with the winning number. This is not as difficult as you may first think. Roulette is not a random game, and it has many predictable aspects.

What Is The Best Way To Win Roulette

It would be great if there was a single universal method to beat all roulette. But the truth is different methods are better suited to different wheels. For example, you may find a heavily biased roulette wheel where you simply need to bet on the same numbers. You could apply visual ballistics to win, but you would find simply betting on the same numbers to be easier. However, visual ballistics will likely produce a higher edge. But then again, visual ballistics requires the player to make late bets after the ball is released, and it may not even be possible to use.

The closest you can get to universally best ways to win roulette are the JAA system explained on this site, and the roulette computers. If you can only bet before the ball is released, then JAA is best. But if you can bet after ball release, then roulette computers are almost always best – they are quicker to use and more profitable.

The Best Way To Bet On Roulette

Most professional players who play alone prefer rapid roulette betting terminals. These allow you to place bets on a touch bet screen, without needing to lean over tables. Professional players who play in a team can just as easily place bets on real tables. The best way to bet usually is by different players placing bets to represent specific sectors of the wheel.

Can you win roulette every time?

Best Way To Win At Roulette Table

The best way to win roulette is with a roulette computer, and you can achieve an edge of over 100%. In one of my last public demos, I achieved a 120% edge which is a win on almost every spin. Now if I bet on just one spin, it could have been in the 7% of losing spins. It’s unlikely but possible. But if I played on 10 spins, almost certainly I would have profited.

How To Win At Casino Roulette

My point is if you have an edge, the more you play, the more likely you are to profit. So yes you can win roulette every time with the right technology, assuming it’s applied correctly. Predicting spin results is not really the difficult part – it’s getting away with winning without being detected.
